What is Business Intelligence?
Business intelligence is the use of data to help companies make educated decisions with the right information. BI, if done manually, needs a lot of resources and time. It is an integral part of the process and helps simplify and automate the process as well as generate qualitative reports
Business intelligence is the process of bringing together data and information management tools to enhance customer experience, increase productivity and profitability, improve business processes, and make better decisions.
